GreenHeritage Pedagogical Framework
About the GreenHeritage Pedagogical Framework
The GreenHeritage Pedagogical Framework is a comprehensive educational publication that explores the role of cultural and natural heritage in fostering sustainable development, community engagement, and value-based learning among primary and secondary school students. Designed for learners aged 13–18, the framework integrates theoretical foundations of sustainable development with innovative pedagogical approaches, including regenerative design, sustainable tourism, digital technologies, and participatory methods. Grounded in an extensive review of existing literature and educational models, the framework proposes an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented approach that supports teachers and educators in introducing heritage as a dynamic resource for learning, critical thinking, and active citizenship. By combining scientific research, local community participation, and modern educational tools, the GreenHeritage Framework positions education as a key driver in shaping skills, values, and competencies necessary to address complex societal challenges of the 21st century.

GreenHeritage Handbook of Best Practices
About the Handbook of Best Practices
The Green Heritage Handbook of Best Practices is a collection of case studies intended as a practical and curated resource to inspire heritage organisations, educators, researchers, and practitioners who are seeking approaches that can be replicated or adapted in contexts aligned with the Green Heritage project. It functions as both a reference document and a tool for operational learning and is organised into four thematic categories: Research and international cooperation; Local heritage practice and territorial innovation; School and youth projects; and Digital gamification. Its simplified structure makes the manual easy to navigate and helps readers immediately locate the type of practice most relevant to their own needs or professional context.
